[QUOTE="glpease, post: 130021, member: 18"] I'm usually the opposite! For the most part, I find VAs absolutely delicious in capacious bowls, and tend to smoke Latakia blends in smaller pipes. Of course, there are plenty of exceptions, but this is more or less my general strategy. The whole VA in a pot thing was an accident. I was testing out Stonehenge before I released it, and smoking it in quite a few different pipes, just to get a feel for how the blend would gel with different smokers' preferences. I filled a GBD 9493—more or less a lovat with a pot bowl—and the results were so amazing, it turned me into a pot fan, especially for VAs. The exceptions? I think every pipe has its own personality, and whenever we attempt to assert rules, some will cooperate, and some will protest. I've got pots that LOVE latakia, and I've got small bowls that bring out the best of virginias. And, different tobaccos play a role, too. I'm working on a new blend, quite strong, and so far, it's smoked best for me in smaller bowls overall. But, there was one bowl in a big Castello pot that was magical—until the room started spinning, and I saw the small phial of potion labeled "Drink Me" on the table... [/QUOTE]
